Samsara

Samsara

…Indeed, we can say that this whole cycle really has no beginning and no end, because our very notions of past, present, and future are part of samsara…Although the light of reality is ever present, ignorance chooses to remain blind. The nature of this blindness is to believe in the existence of a separate, independent self. Trungpa Rinpoche also used to say that ignorance is very intelligent. It is actually the intelligence of samsara, which is fighting a continual battle for survival and constantly looking for ways of keeping up its own illusion, it’s own self-deception. ~Fracesca Fremantle
